Boardrooms' role in the sustainability challenge

摘要

By 2050, the planet will be a vastly different place. Global megatrends including population rise, intensified global interdepend-ency, increasing resource constraints, changing weather patterns and shifts in consumer values will usher in a new and unprecedented operating environment for businesses. These issues will present opportunities as well as challenges for organisations ready to tackle them. There are not enough resources to supply the seven billion lives being lived all around the world right now. In fact, we would need three planets' worth to give everyone the quality of life that those in the UK living above the poverty line enjoy today.
